What to know about shutter motor replacement in Rochester
We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced.
A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
Specification options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Smart and timer control options
- Obstacle detection options
- Safety checks on handover

Rochester and surrounding towns
Our engineers travel across Kent, including Rochester (ME1). We also cover nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham, so jobs at more than one site can be grouped into one visit.
Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.
How it works
Describe the fault
Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.
Engineer visit
An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Shutter motor replacement: common questions
Do you cover Rochester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Rochester. We also cover nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.
Can you fit a motor to a different make of shutter?
Usually yes, by matching the motor size and torque to the barrel and curtain.
How do I know if the motor has failed?
Signs include humming without movement, stopping at random, overheating or not responding at all. The fault can also be the switch, receiver or power, so an engineer checks those first.
Do I need a new key switch too?
Not always. If the switch works and is compatible, it can stay. Worn or weather-damaged switches are often replaced at the same time.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
